Poptropica Pamphlet

Welcome to the Poptropica Pamphlet Page! If you’re new to Poptropica, this is the best page to help you get started. 😉 Below are different parts of Poptropica you might need help getting used to.

What Is Poptropica

Here is a bit of a summary of Poptropica. Basically what it’s about.

Poptropica is a game where kids can explore many islands and complete quests. It makes them think and learn, but in fun ways (Seriously though, not like all those learning games). On each island, the player, or “Poptropican,” has to finish a series of tasks in order to help the island natives and earn the island medallion, representing your completion of that island. Every island has it’s own unique characters, storyline, and setting. Plus, you can customize your Poptropican to fit your personality and buy cool stuff. Stuff that doesn’t cost real money!

Starting Off

To start your Poptropica life, click here. Then click new player, select your gender, and select your age (Age will not be shared with anyone). After that you get to chose what your Poptropican looks like. Click “Change All” to change your Poptropican’s name. If your outfit isn’t perfect, don’t worry. You can change it in the game. So click your blimp to enter Poptropica! The easiest island to complete is Early Poptropica, so it’s great for beginers. Early Poptropica is to the far right of the map. When you land on the island, first click save, so you can make a username and password. Most people say that Skullduggery and Astro-Knights are the hardest islands, so try to save those for later. Good luck and have fun! 😀

Store

The Poptropica Store is a place where you can buy cool costumes and items for your Poptropican. To buy these, you need credits, which you can earn by completing islands. However you can buy membership (Scroll down for more info on membership), which allows you to get any item/costume in the store for free. The items in the store are called gold cards. Sadly, some gold cards are only for members. And some of those members only gold cards only last for a limited time. That limited time is the time in which early access is available for new islands. An ad for membership, your amount of credits, your inventory button, and the promo code box is at the top. The promo code box is for when you have a code that unlocks a prize. For some promo codes that are available for everyone, visit our Clever Codes Page (some codes may not work any longer). All the gold cards are listed in the middle. Click on/hover over them to see their cost. The costumes are listed on the bottom. Click on/hover over them to see their cost. You can view the newest, most popular, creators’ picks, all, or a list view of the costumes. However the costumes may be different depending on whether you’re male or female.

Friends Page

The Poptropica Friends Page is where you can view your profile and your friends’ profiles. On your profile, you first see the amount of medallions you have (Islands you’ve completed). Click it to view specifically which medallions you have. Next is where you live. Then, what tribe you’re in. Then your photos. With your photo album, you can click it to view all the photos you’ve collected on each island. You can even click on each picture to customize what your Poptropican is wearing in the photo. However, only members can view all of the photos. Non-members can only view the first picture they got from each island. After that is your closet. This is only for members. You can save up to 30 costumes in your closet and customize them, if you’re a member. Next is how many friends you have. Then your mood and then battle ranking. To increase your battle ranking, play games against other Poptropicans in Common Rooms and try your best to win! After that is if you have membership or not, then the amount of credits you have. *takes gasping breath* Finally you have the answers to the surveys you’ve answered and your island completions. You can change pretty much anything on your profile by clicking the thing you want to change. At the top of your page, you have a Friends tab, Tribes tab, and Multiverse tab. Your Friends Page is the friend tab. Click the Tribes tab to visit a multiverse for your tribe. Click the Multiverse tab to join a multiverse your friend has created. Underneath all that is you and your friends. Click on your friends to view their profiles. You can order them either by most active or by the date they were added. You can also click the star under your friend to make them a “best friend,” if you will. To the right of them is a trash, addition, and shirt button. Click the trash button to delete a friend, the addition button to add a friend by typing in their username, and the shirt to customize what your friend is wearing.

Home Page

Your Home Page is where you end up when you log into Poptropica. There you can return to your game (top left), answer pop quizzes and see what your friends have been up to (top right), see the top 5 alternating Poptropica news updates (bottom left), and your membership status or promo code box (bottom right). There is also an Account Settings and Log out tab at the top right. Click the Account Settings to change your password and/or see specifics on your membership status. Click the Log out tab to log out of Poptropica.

Inventory

Your inventory, or items let’s you view anything you’ve collected on an island. And these items usually help you complete the island. To look at items from an island you’re not on, click the tab with your island’s name. It brings down a list of all the islands, plus store items, games, your closet, and advertisement items. Click the store items to see the items you bought from the Poptropica Store. From there you can customize the costumes you bought or active/use the items you bought. Click the games to view games you can play in common rooms and some other games that you can play on certain islands. However some games require another player. Click the closet tab to get sent to your closet. The other tabs are for items you win from advertisements (Scroll down for more info on ads). For example, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Ad. You can also show all your items by the date you got them or in alphabetical order.

Updated

In the more updated islands, the inventory is a little different. The island tab shows all the items you’ve earned on the island you’re on. The trophy/prizes tab shows any prizes you’ve earned. The green Store tab shows your Store items, but all of them might not be there for the time being. You can also change the size of all the cards from big (1 row) to small (2 rows).

Customizer

The customizer, or green shirt let’s you customize what other Poptropicans are wearing. Whether it’s a NPC on an island or another play in a Common Room. When you use the customizer, a screen gets brought up of your Poptropican and the one you want to customize. Click on what you want from the other Poptropican. If you change your mind, click that thing again, but this time on your Poptropican. When your done, click accept to finish or cancel if it turns out you don’t want to customize the Poptropican. You can also save the look to your closet or get the look on a t-shirt. Note that the t-shirt costs real money.

Updated

With the newer, updated islands however, there are two other buttons. One has a Poptropican with a green shirt and a cursor. This allows you to chose someone else to customize, without having to do much. The other button looks like a green shirt with a magnifying glass beside it. Clicking this shows the different parts of the Poptropican’s outfit that are customizable. This helps when items are blocking certain items, or if the Poptropican is wearing something exclusive that can’t be customized.

Maps

Island Map

Your island map should not be confused to be your regular map.Your island map shows all the places on the island you’re on. However it only labels the parts you’ve visited. From that map you can also restart the island to play it all over again. There are no island maps for more updated islands.

Poptropica Map

The Poptropica Map is your map of all the islands. This is how you travel around. It’s where you go when you enter your blimp. The islands in color (Like 24 Carrot Island, in the picture below) are the islands that have been updated with sound, a bigger screen, etc.

Avatar Studio

To visit the Avatar Studio, click here. At the Avatar Studio you can type in your Poptropica username and it will show your current Poptropican. Then you can crop and zoom the picture and save it as a file on your computer. However you can also copy the link and paste it somewhere, so other people can see your awesome outfit.

Membership

Membership is something that gives your Poptropican a ton of extra awesome stuff. This awesome stuff includes early access to new islands, all the gold cards and costumes in the Poptropica Store, their costume closet, more access to their photo album, and more! To buy or just look into membership, click here. Note that membership costs real money.
